Eco Radio proudly flew the anti-war, anti-nuclear flag this week. We spoke with long time anti-war activist Ciaron O'Reilly about the protest actions and arrests at this year's Peace Convergence at Shoalwater Bay in Central Queensland.
The audio is online at Radio 4 All and Rad Radio's own Ili Tulloch has a story in Rockhampton's Morning Bulletin here.
We then heard a clip from Dr Helen Caldicott's If You Love This Planet, featuring Lawrence Wittner, Professor of History at the State University of New York/Albany. Prof. Wittner is an award-winning American historian who has written extensively on peace movements and foreign policy. He is the author of seven books, including his most recent: Confronting the Bomb: A Short History of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, published by Stanford University Press. He also wrote an earlier trilogy of books Toward Nuclear Abolition: The Struggle Against The Bomb upon which Confronting the Bomb is based.
We heard Wittner’s evaluation of the global movement for disarmament, and an analysis of the pathology of war and weapons.
Finally, we checked in with Steve Holdsworth from Friends of the Earth about the campaign against the expansion of the Olympic Dam uranium mine in South Australia. Time is ticking for submissions to the Environmental Impact Statement, so get it together and follow FoE's lead by making a submission here.
